My academic background is in English Literature, with a first class degree from Warwick, and a masters degree specialising in the period 1550-1700 from Oxford. I have a second, more practical masters degree in 'Shakespeare and Creativity' taught jointly by the Shakespeare Institute and Royal Shakespeare Company. This involved putting on an exhibition and co-writing an original play for The Other Place Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, and I was awarded funding for this study via the Birmingham Masters Scholarship. I am currently undertaking a PhD at Cambridge on representations of dangerous magic on the early modern stage.

​

My writing career began in Oxford when I put on my first play, Naked is the Realm, in the chapel of my college (St Peter's). After that, I began to work professionally and have since written plays of varying lengths, cast sizes, and styles for numerous companies across the UK and beyond. I have won three awards, the Pembroke Players Playwriting Award for my play In a Cave, a Voice, and the CUADC Playwriting Award, and the Cambridge Creatives Playwriting Award, both for Moderation. I was a finalist for the Radius Drama Award with Naked is the Realm, and also for the Questors Student Playwriting Award with The Lady's Mad.

As a researcher I have been involved with numerous outreach and public engagement projects, I run the Cambridge Festival Student Creative Team and produce the Cambridge Festival student podcast 'Say That Again Slowly'.
